In the night’s main event, light heavyweights Ryan Bader and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira clashed for a second time. The pair met previously at UFC 119 in September of 2010, where Bader earned a unanimous decision victory. Bader entered the match-up having won six of his last bouts inside the Octagon. He most recently defeated Ilir Latifi in September with a second-round knockout. “Lil’ Nog” snapped a two-fight skid in May with a first-round TKO win over Patrick Cummins at UFC 198.

The 12-fight event kicked off Saturday with two bouts streaming live on UFC Fight Pass at 6 p.m. ET. Four additional prelims followed at 7 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1, with the six-fight main card airing live at 9 p.m. ET, also on Fox Sports 1.
